Security & Privacy

The Secure Order Process

Our website uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certified by a Equifax Secure Inc. (which is provided by Baytides Management Inc.), an industry standard security protocol, and on top of that your credit card
information is being encrypted using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). When you place your order, you will connect with our
secure server. SSL sends this information "encrypted", changing all the information that you send back into a code that is
extremely difficult to decipher. In fact, to date there has not been a single documented case of fraud involving the
interception of a credit card number transmitted via a secure server over the Internet! PGP encrypts your credit card
information on top of that: only The Friends of Algonquin Park will have access to it.

It is important to understand, that the "regular" e-mail information is not sent encrypted. We strongly recommend to use only secure ordering processes to transmit your important personal data, such as credit card information!

Your personal information: who will see it?

The Friends of Algonquin Park never sells, rents or shares customer lists. Any and all information of a personal nature concerning our customers always remains confidential. We guarantee it.
